Participants in USF Conflict Resolution Collaborative Parenting Coordination (PC) Courses taught before July 2009 may not be qualified under the new Parenting Coordination statute [FS 61.125(4)] effective October 1, 2009 which established new PC qualifications including completion of a twenty-four hour PC Course and four hours of related domestic violence training to qualify as a Parenting Coordinator. Given that earlier USF PC Courses did not satisfy these requirements, this one day course will supplement earlier USF PC training and allow course participants successfully completing both courses to fulfill the new Parenting Coordination Training requirement. Participants will receive a Supplemental Parenting Coordination certificate issued by the USF Conflict Resolution Collaborative upon completion of the course.
